This is a disaster for Real Madrid, Alex.
Yeah, as Alex said, Arbeloa did say that afterwards for his team selection.
But even that team should have been beaten Albacete, Ale.
So what are they going to do now, Alex?
There's got to be some damage limitation.
Obviously, there's still two cups to play for in the Champions League in La Liga, where they are trailing to Barcelona.
And you can point to it and say, well, Xabi Alonso wasn't the problem here then.
What will those bigger players that were not taken be thinking here?
Would they be okay with being left out of this game?
Just to further the point, Alex, even if the blame isn't given to Albaloa from the fans, it's certainly put a whole lot more pressure on him now.
Yeah, we just mentioned the last cup upset was Alcayano.
That was under Zidane back then, Alex.
And Alcorcon, before that, that was under Pellegrini.
There was no knee-jerk reaction then.
This is early days, though, for Arbeloa.
We know what Florentino Perez is like.
There's not going to be a knee-jerk reaction, is there?
